Ancient Minnesota rocks rival Earth's oldest finds
Geologists Dr. Samuel S. Goldich and Dr. Carl E. Hedge identify 3.8 billion year old rocks in a Minnesota valley. The discovery, 300 million years older than prior terrestrial samples, extends Earth's early history toward moonlike antiquity and invites cross comparison with Apollo lunar rocks. The find matches Greenland's 3.8 billion year old stones in age.
